Chapter 131
He Lianjin's speed was really fast, and he sent He Lianyu's concubine selection list the next day.

Yun Chuwei took it, and opened it to see that they were all daughters of famous families in Beijing.

Focusing on the three words "Huang Miaoqing", Yun Chuwei narrowed his eyes, closed the roster, and beckoned to Meizi, "How is Shen Tao?"

"Girl, she's doing well!" Ever since she suffered from having five fingers scalded that time, Shen Tao still dared to go against Yun Chuwei, and even spoke politely to the servants.

Yun Chuwei said: "Let her come to see me."

Not long after, Chen Tao entered the room, knelt down and kowtowed, "Servant, pay my respects to Madam."

Yun Chu looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "Shen Tao, I asked you to do rough work in the utility room for so long, you must have hated me to the core, right?"

"I don't dare." Although the tone was respectful, no matter how I heard it, I felt that there was a taste of unwillingness in it.

"Do you want to come out of the utility room?"

"Slave..." She thought about it, she dreamed about it, but she fell into Yun Chuwei's hands and burned five fingers last time. This time, she didn't know what poisonous tricks she would use to deal with herself.

Her five fingers have barely healed so far and can touch water, if they are scalded again...

Thinking of this, Shen Tao trembled all over.

"I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds." Yun Chuwei said, "You take the money and go to the Temple of the City God to find the beggars there, and ask them to spread a message for me."

"what news?"

"You let them tell everyone that this year's Tanabata Concubine Selection Banquet, in fact, the candidate has long been decided by default, and it is Huang Miaoqing, the daughter of the second wife of the Huang Mansion."

Shen Tao was startled in her heart, although she stayed in the sundry room all day, she was not deaf to what was going on outside the window, and she had heard other maids discussing that the third prince, He Lianyu, would choose his concubine on Qixi Festival.

Yun Chuwei actually asked her to do this kind of thing, isn't she afraid that she would run away with the money and expose all her schemes?
"Of course, you can also take the money and run away." Yun Chu raised his lips slightly, "You can even go to the third prince to expose me, maybe he will be moved and ask you directly, and you can give me money afterwards. Your title."

Shen Tao felt a chill in her heart, Yun Chuwei actually saw through her thoughts!
"However." Yun Chu said in a mellow voice, "Next time it falls into my hands, I won't just burn your fingers, I'll burn your tongue and face as well."

Shen Tao's teeth trembled, "Servant...servant dare not."

Today's Yun Chuwei is completely different from the one who was wearing small shoes twice in three days when she was in Xinghua Village, she is a different person, Shen Tao believes that if Yun Chuwei can say it, then he can do it.

The pain of burning her fingers with hot coals last year still lingers in her heart. If she burns her tongue and face together again, she will not be able to imagine her inhuman appearance.

"It's fine if you don't dare." Yun Chuwei looked lazily, "Meizi, take her to the cashier to collect the money."

Meizi quickly took Shen Tao to the accountant.

After receiving the broken silver, Chen Tao left the gate of the Duke's Mansion to go to the Town God's Temple.

When Mei Zi came back, her face was full of worry, "Actually, this matter can be done better by servants, why did the girl let Chen Tao go? If she really ran away with the money and exposed us by the way, what the girl said Isn’t everything you did in vain?”

"No." Yun Chuwei gently leaned on the soft pillow, "With Xiao Ji watching secretly, she can't run away."

"But……"

"The reason why Chen Tao was allowed to go is because this person is not in our family's slavery. If He Lianyu becomes suspicious and asks someone to investigate, the only thing the beggars can describe to him is Shen Tao's appearance. Sometimes even if he comes to the door, we can use the trick of 'there is no such person in the house' to deal with him. Of course, I hope that He Lianyu is too busy to have time to investigate."

On the way to the Town God's Temple, Shen Tao was confused by the money in her pocket several times, and really wanted to run away like this, but she always felt that since she went out, there were two eyes behind her that had been staring at her, turning her head, what? nothing.

Shen Tao suddenly felt his scalp go numb, so he quickened his pace to go to the Town God's Temple.

After distributing the money to the beggars in the ruined temple, and explaining the matter, Shen Tao came out, the feeling of being secretly watched became more and more intense, she bit her lip, and went straight back to the Duke's mansion.

Yan returned to the pavilion.

Yun Chuwei looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and chuckled, "It's done so quickly? I thought you would really run away with the money."

Shen Tao trembled, "How dare a servant girl."

In fact, it wasn't that she didn't dare, but that she finally figured out why Yun Chuwei asked her to do this at the last moment.

Because she is a foreigner, although she works in the Duke's Mansion, she has no slave status, which is what people often call a "black household". Once the third prince comes to investigate, she will be the first to find her. She is a black household. Dare to reveal that this matter was ordered by Yun Chuwei, that is to slander Mrs. Gaoming, when Yun Chuwei bites back, she will still be the one who dies in the end.As for Yun Chuwei, he not only took care of his own business, but also pulled out a useless abandoned son.

Shen Tao suddenly felt that the woman sitting at the top was terrifying, even more terrifying than a scourge.

Every step of my life has been calculated by others, and now, the only way out is to please this woman, otherwise, in the end, I don't know how I died.

"Go down!" Yun Chuwei suddenly felt a little sleepy and wanted to take a break.

Chen Tao stood up and said in a low voice: "If Furen needs a place to get a servant in the future, just give orders, and the servant will definitely bow down and die."

"There's no need to die." Yun Chu smiled slightly, "There will be many places where you will be used in the future!"

-

However, in just three days, the news that Huang Miaoqing was appointed as the third concubine by default spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Yonglong listened to Eunuch Zhang's reply with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty, the servant has already sent someone out to inquire, and the person who answered said that there are too many people who told the story, and there is no trace of who said it first."

There are nearly 30 people in the entire capital, and it would be an impossible task to investigate one by one.

Emperor Yonglong's face became even more ugly, "Go and pass on the third child!"

Before Eunuch Zhang left, another eunuch hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shoufu is asking to see you."

Emperor Yonglong rubbed his forehead, "Please come in."

Huang Shoufu was a minister of the humerus of the imperial court. Even if Emperor Yonglong got angry again, he would not be able to set fire to him.

"The old minister sees the emperor."

After Huang Shoufu came in, he knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

"Get flat!" Emperor Yonglong looked at it lightly.

Huang Shoufu got up and stood aside.

"It's rare that Lord Shoufu came to the Imperial Study Room to look for me on his own initiative. Why, something important?" Emperor Yonglong pretended to be ignorant.

"Recently there have been rumors that the granddaughter of the old minister is the concubine appointed by His Highness the Third Highness. I wonder if the Emperor has heard of this?"

"No." Emperor Yonglong picked up a book and flipped through it, "So there is such a thing? It seems that Mr. Shoufu is anxious about his granddaughter's marriage, right?"

"The old minister is terrified." After so many years with the emperor, Huang Shoufu couldn't tell. The emperor in front of him just didn't show any anger. In fact, he was already blaming him for not being strict with his family. He didn't participate in the selection of the prince's concubine at all, so how could he become the official choice? Someone must have spread rumors to cause trouble."

"Creating rumors?" Emperor Yonglong closed the book with a snap, staring at Huang Shoufu, "Then who do you think will stand up and spread rumors at such a crucial moment?"

Huang Shoufu's face was tense, "Old minister, I don't know."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Third Highness seeks an audience." The eunuch who had notified just now came in again.

Emperor Yonglong raised his eyebrows, "Let him in."

After a while, He Lianyu strode into the imperial study.

"My son sees my father."

"Exemption." Emperor Yonglong glanced at He Lianyu, his eyes deep, "The third child came just in time. Huang Shoufu just told me that there are rumors that his granddaughter Huang Miaoqing has become your default third concubine. Your marriage , isn’t it left to the queen to handle it? The queen has not even got the list of concubines, and your concubine has been appointed by default. I’m curious, who made the appointment?”

He Lianyu's heart sank, and he also wanted to know why he heard such annoying news so early in the morning.

You must know that Huang Miaoqing's "internal decision" and being his favorite at the concubine selection banquet are two different things.

If he performed well at the concubine selection banquet and was favored by him, it would be justified, and it would be a matter of course. When the time came to marry Huang Miaoqing, neither the courtier nor his father would say anything.

But now that there is a damn "internal decision", it is tantamount to telling the world that He Lianyu can't wait to marry the Huang family.

In this way, as long as you are not a pig brain, you can think of the mystery inside.

Huang Shoufu is highly respected, has peaches and plums all over the world, and is a veteran of the two dynasties. He is also known for his integrity. He Lianyu can't wait to "appoint" the prince and concubine to their home, and his thoughts are clearly revealed.

With such a big hat on his head, He Lianyu dared not speak out, holding back internal injuries.

"Father Huang Mingjian, the granddaughter of Huang Shoufu's family is not on the list of concubines at all. Where did the minister come to be so capable?"

What the two said before and after was exactly the same, if it hadn't been negotiated earlier, it would be true, Emperor Yonglong raised his eyebrows, "Huang Miaoqing is really not on the list of concubines?"

"I'm really not here." He Lianyu and Huang Shoufu responded in unison, "Please also ask the emperor (father) to look into it!"

Huang Shoufu said this to clear up the relationship between the Huang family and He Lianyu, and he didn't want his reputation to be ruined by such a trivial matter.

As for He Lianyu, he had seen the concubine selection roster, and Huang Miaoqing was indeed on it, but fortunately the roster hadn't reached the queen yet, so as long as Huang Miaoqing was not on the roster, there was still time to go back and revise it later.

It's just that after this incident, he has distanced himself from Huang's house invisibly. From now on, Huang Shoufu will avoid him when he sees him. How can he help him in turn?
He Lianyu's heart was burning with anger, and the person who spread the rumors must be one of his three brothers.

As for who it is, he will find out!
He Lianjin had an eyeliner in the palace, so what He Lianyu and Huang Shoufu said in the imperial study reached his ears verbatim, and he told Yun Chuwei himself.

Hearing Huang Miaoqing's eligibility to choose a concubine was cut off like this, Yun Chu smiled slightly, "What about Second Highness, although I, a woman, cannot hold the power to turn clouds and rain like you, but the woman's method still works, right? ?”

He Lianjin was noncommittal.

Indeed, if it were him, he would definitely look down on this kind of method that only women would use, but he has to admit that Yun Chuwei's method is effective and effective, and it is much simpler than him racking his brains to deal with He Lianyu .

"Then, now you should believe that I have the ability to help you deal with He Lianyu, right?" Yun Chuwei continued to claim credit.

Helian glanced at her, "It's just the beginning, don't be too happy!"

"All the plans are under my control." Yun Chuwei was full of confidence, "Since I cut off Huang Miaoqing, the next thing I have to do is to give the candidate for the third concubine in my mind to He Lian Yu."

He Lianjin couldn't help being curious, "Who is it?"

Yun Chu smiled mysteriously, "Just wait and see, you will find out in two days."

-

Yun Xueyao disappeared.

Dongyang Marquis Mansion, the main courtyard of the second room, Huang's crying directly.

The servant girls sent out came back one after another, shaking their heads and saying that they didn't see where the fourth girl had gone.

Huang looked at the sky, it was going to be dark soon, if Yun Xueyao didn't come back tonight, her innocence would be completely ruined by tomorrow.

"Second wife, the first lady and the old lady are here." The servant girl hurriedly reported.

Huang's complexion changed, and he shouted sharply, "Who leaked the news?"

The maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and dared not breathe.

It's because he didn't dare to alarm Fan and the old lady that Huang has been secretly sending people out to look for it. Now that it has reached the ears of those two, is that okay?

Before she could think about it, Mrs. Fan walked in with Mrs. Yun's arm.

Huang immediately changed her smiling face, "Sister-in-law, old lady, why are you here?"

Old Madam Yun glanced around, and asked, "Where is Fourth Girl?"

Huang said: "I went out and said I'll be back in a while, does the old lady have anything to look for her?"

"Yes." Mrs. Yun sat up, as if the old monk had settled down, "I'll just wait here."

Huang's face changed again and again, "Old lady, you are Si Yatou's grandmother, there is no reason for you to wait for her, please go back, Si Yatou will come back in a while, my wife asked her to go to Qinfang Garden to find you as soon as possible .”

"No need." Mrs. Yun's face was serious, and she sat still, "Don't you also say, go out for a while? I can wait for this time."

Huang's back broke out in cold sweat, looked at Fan, and hesitated to speak.

Fan said in a low voice: "Second brother and sister, tell me the truth, where did the fourth girl go?"

Huang bit her lip tightly.

"If you don't tell the truth, the old lady and I will not be responsible for anything that happens to the fourth girl."

Being stared at by Fan, Mrs. Huang felt guilty, her head hung lower and lower, and finally she couldn't hold back, and knelt on the ground with a mournful face, "Old lady, fourth girl, she is missing."

Mrs. Yun glanced at her lightly. She had never had a good impression of this daughter-in-law. She became a mother when she first entered the family. , and then took Yun Xirong to the family temple, the old lady Yun also chose to turn a blind eye. This kind of thing is disgraceful after all, as long as no one is killed, then everything is negotiable.

But I didn't expect that the Huang family would become more and more troublesome, and then she didn't even pay attention to the eldest house. The mother didn't want to teach her daughter how to behave in the world, but instead instigated her to do tricks behind her back all day long.

Yun Xueyao's ability to develop into today's arrogance, domineering and brainless, is absolutely inseparable from Huang's.

Mrs. Yun couldn't figure it out. Even if she wasn't her own, Mrs. Huang wouldn't have learned a little or two of Mrs. Huang's temperament, right?
If it had been changed before, when Mrs. Yun heard the news of Yun Xueyao's disappearance, she would be so angry that she would jump up and curse people.

But it is different now, he is a person who devotes himself to the Buddha, so his temper has naturally restrained a lot, and his face is calm, "Have you sent someone to look for it?"

"Send, send." Huang's eyes filled with turmoil, and the old lady didn't scold her?

Or is this just the calm before the storm?

This realization made Huang feel cold all over.

"Any news?" Mrs. Yun asked again.

"Not yet!" Huang's head was downcast. If there was news, she would not be in such a hurry.

"Boss, daughter-in-law, hurry up and make arrangements, and send more people out to look for it. You must find the fourth girl before it gets dark, otherwise..." Otherwise, if this girl returns early tomorrow morning, her reputation will be completely ruined.

Fan knew it and made arrangements immediately.

Although she is at odds with the Huang family, she will not settle this kind of fault on the younger generation.

The Fan family is a serious wife in charge of the family. She understands better than anyone else that the future of each junior in the family can bring certain benefits and honor to the family, so unless there are special circumstances, she never scolds the family easily. The two-bedroom and three-bedroom children, and what's more, she is so fair to the two-bedroom and three-bedroom children.

This time, in order to find Yun Xueyao, more than half of the servants and guards in the house were mobilized, but the night passed and there was no news.

Sitting on the head of the bed, Huang's eyes were swollen from crying.

The old lady's breath was a little cold, but she never said a word.

Fan frowned frequently.

Qiuyan came in and whispered something in her ear, Fan's face changed drastically after hearing that.
